Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotoxicity and risk assessment of brominated and alternative flame retardants
TL;DR: The available neurotoxicity data indicate that some AFRs may be suitable substitutes for BFRs, and proper risk assessment is hampered by an overall scarcity of data, particularly regarding environmental persistence, human exposure levels, and the formation of breakdown products and possible metabolites.
Book ChapterDOI
Persistence, Bioaccumulation, and Toxicity of Halogen-Free Flame Retardants
Susanne L. Waaijers,Deguo Kong,Hester S. Hendriks,Cynthia A. de Wit,Ian T. Cousins,Remco H.S. Westerink,Pim E.G. Leonards,Michiel H. S. Kraak,Wim Admiraal,Pim de Voogt,John R. Parsons +10 more
TL;DR: An inventory of the available data on the physical-chemical properties, pro- duction volumes, persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) of a selection of HFFRs that are potential replacements for BFRs in polymers is made, and the latter compounds are considered to be the most promising among alternative HFFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Novel Modes of Action Involved in the In Vitro Neurotoxic Effects of Tetrabromobisphenol-A
TL;DR: In vitro studies demonstrate that TBBPA exerts several adverse effects on functional neurotransmission endpoints with effect concentrations that are only two orders of magnitude below the highest cord serum concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCB-47, PBDE-47 and 6-OH-PBDE-47 differentially modulate human GABAA and α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Hester S. Hendriks,Elsa C. Antunes Fernandes,Åke Bergman,Martin van den Berg,Remco H.S. Westerink +4 more
TL;DR: GABA(A) and nACh receptors are affected differently by PCB-47 and 6-OH-PBDE-47, with inhibitory GABA(A)-mediated signaling being potentiated and excitatory α(4)β(2) nA choline-mediated signalingbeing inhibited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal and paternal risk factors for anorectal malformations: a Dutch case-control study.
Iris A.L.M. van Rooij,Charlotte H. W. Wijers,Paul N.M.A. Rieu,Hester S. Hendriks,Marijn M. Brouwers,Nine V A M Knoers,Ivo de Blaauw,Nel Roeleveld +7 more
TL;DR: Potential risk factors for ARM, including fever during pregnancy, maternal overweight, use of multivitamins, paternal smoking, and occupational exposures, but a familial component seems important as well are revealed.
